  1. The most annoying, insufferable, loud mouth bitch at our local pub is involved with hard money lending. Just listening to her rant on & on about the "services" they provide that banks & credit unions can't has made it clear to me that they're about as ethical as payday loan providers.
  2. Yeah, Hanks went borderline hagiography with this one. Not saying anyone was looking to see all of his dirty laundry aired. The intro w/ Murray when he openly talked about how difficult it would be to find anyone who could relate a story about John doing something boorish set the stage. Everyone loved him and he was a sincere, relatable dude. That sentiment and his image wasn't going to be damaged 30+ years after his death by at least acknowledging his drug use/abuse. The highlight was Aykroyd's eugology ("John was grand") and the closing of the interstate for his funeral procession.
  3. Bijan. 81 yards. Housed it.
  4. [emoji869][emoji869][emoji869][emoji869][emoji869]
  5. He's the most deserving of this major award.
  6. More than enough space to hold all of the hardware in aggy's hall of champions.
  7. Oh yeah. That totally happened. And that "person" (because he doesn't even know who it was, just not him) almost assuredly had tears in her eyes, right?
  8. He's gonna be throwing ketchup bottles all over the place today.
  9. But-and follow me here-if they all tune into the "All-Racist....err, American Halftime Show,' how will they know what to be outraged about? I mean, if they don't actually see or hear the afront to their wet tissue soft sense of security, will they still be threatened? And if Lee Greenwood does get the gig, he should be forced to play the most blatant money grab of all time that he's tried to scrub from history.
  10. It's as tough a task as naming your favorite song by the Stones in the Music thread (but Marty would almost surely go with Gimme Shelter). I've said before that Raging Bull is the very definition of perfection. Direction. Acting. Writing. Cinematography. Editing. Everyone was absolutely at the top of their game. But Rupert Pupkin may be even more damaged than Jake Lamotta. Or Travis Bickle. Maybe my favorite Marty quote ever was when a reporter asked him how the director of Goodfellas, Mean Streets, Raging Bull, etc could make a period piece like The Age of Innocence? His reply was "it's the most violent film I've ever made" or words to that effect. And he was right. If he never made a single movie he'd be a hero just for his film preservation efforts.
  11. Soup kitchen? Is that the new pizza parlor with a basement where they traffick children?!? Not today, satan!
  12. As if this year wasn't shitty enough already. C'mon, Dolly. We need ya.
  13. More than the number who stroke out raking the fall leaves.
  14. Why he was trying to bulldoze on a 3rd and 9. Vikes released Desmond Ridder, the #3 QB, on Fri. The shitshow continues. Oh wait. Max Brosmer is the #3 now. Lulz.
  15. It went about as expected. A shitty drive (I hadn't been in NW SA in over 10 years; that 1604/I-10 interchange is a mess), 2 hours of watching awkward family conversations over lunch at Alamo Cafe, wrapped up by listening to the first half of a shitty game on the way home. Wasted Saturday.
  16. We've gotta do an out & back to San Antonio for lunch today w/ Mrs GOTJ's family. 5 hours of driving for a crappy meal when most of the attendees don't like each other. The worst part is we've got a legitimate out but my wife refuses to take it. Which means on the 2.5 hour drive home when I'll be trying to listen to the first half of the game, I'm going to have to hear her bitch about what an awful time it was & how we really could have used the time to get our house prepped before the contractors start the guest bath reno next week. I'm screwed six ways to Sunday.
  17. The second they can make a soy-based self tanner spray in the same orange julius color that dotard prefers is the second this "crisis" is over. The MAGAts will be showering in that shit as their patriotic duty.
  18. The "they don't like aid" schtick is just a bit much. They repeatedly vote for it. They don't consider it welfare, they consider it their right as farmers to be protected from uncertainty & bailed out from stupidity. It ain't socialism when it benefits R voters.
  19. And as I'm sitting in a local pub right now that was quiet & still, You Can't Always Get What You Want began playing. That's the perfect song for today
  20. There is no way all of this macho posturing by Hegseth (and Miller) will end in anything less than a military invasion that involves boots on the ground in another country. As much as dotard would be satisfied with having them gun down US civilians here in America, the Secretary of War's micropeen won't get hard until we bomb the shit out of some poor brown people halfway across the world. They're going to stage a made for HDTV special while turning some non-threat on the map into a grease spot.
  21. Man, I just read the Springsteen interview for the Time magazine cover and everything you typed just rang through with what Bruce said about arguably the song he's most known for. Except it wasn't our country that betrayed us, it was a majority of the voting populace. And they're fucking thrilled with what they've unleashed because they love the pain they are inflicting on people who are different from them.
  22. And he got divorced AFTER he made TPOTC. His ex got $400mm. In 2006. Shit, he's gonna make 2 billion. Elon and the rest of the oligarchs will make sure this is the biggest box office take of all time.
  23. Hey, if you were forced to have weekly discussions with your dad about your online porn consumption wouldn't you be a little stressed?
  24. Dude, that movie made Gibson richer than god. And that was decades before MAGA. He's gonna get non-stop free promotion from fox, oan, newsmax, etc. Plus dotard will likely require all school aged children to see it. The GQP will buy out theaters in advance for weeks. It's going to make a billion dollars.
